CW without Usyk ?

Usyk will move up at HW, surely. What do you expect after that ? Gassiev ? Briedis ? The others ?

Gassiev also had some talk about moving up. Briedis is probably going to become the top guy there. Briedis is in the WBSS, the biggest fights of the division are there. And, I believe, Briedis will win the new tourney. Furthermore, he had already performed better than Gassiev against Usyk. So today Briedis is probably more likely to be #2 after Usyk than anybody else.

I can’t imagine Breidis sticking around much longer either considering he already has an explosive win over a HW title holder. I’d imagine he’s moving up after the tourney.

Gassiev would be number one guy until he loses to one of the remaining CW's, although he could end up moving up as well, although I like him at CW.
